I don't think proxies work for HTTP installs right now. It should
still work for FTP, however, as the dialog says.

Actually, the built-in URLs are fine given the way sysinstall works
right now (and has always worked), it's just that the deputy release
engineers forgot to create the appropriate symlinks to the
snapshots. :)

does it "ultimately panic?"

The options screen is a botch, has always been a botch, and needs to
be thought out better or at least removed from a number of the places
where it's referenced.

Normal for early snapshot releases; packages and XFree86 don't always
show up until later in the process.
